I post so much, sometimes I forget what I’ve written. At times, I have to go to the search box or Google to find the answer to, “Have I written about this already?” So you and I are in the same boat here …

Glad to hear you liked it and that her perspective and distance enriched the narrative. Thanks for pointing me toward your review. I’m looking forward to the book even more now. I’m going to check out more of the top posts that I may have missed. *smacks forehead*

I liked “Chalked Up” a lot and think it could turn up later on some of the “year’s best sports books” lists. Sey is unusual in that she is in early middle age and has put some distance between herself and her gymnastics career. So she has a maturity of perspective on her sport that a lot of athletes don’t bring to their books.

I truly believe volleyball WILL be talked about at the wated fountains for years to come and YES it has arrived as an Olympic sport.
